What did Bush do the 8 months following Clintons warning about Bin Laden and Airplanes.?

Question

Im curious why right wing T.V. is pretending Bush had no idea and wasnt on vacation most of the time fishing in Crawford.

Here comes the personal attacks.. "imbecile".
As said earlier, right wing people dont know how to answer without slandering the person asking a q.

fr chuck: Vague? "Al Qaeda determined to attack U.S. Buildings with Commercial Aircraft"..... yea i guess we need more clarification.

scubadog: was he doing that from a fishing hole?

Answer 1

That former lead counsel for the House David Schippers says he’d taken to John Ashcroft’s office specific warnings he’d learned from FBI agents in New York of an impending attack – even naming the proposed dates, names of the hijackers and the targets – and that the investigations had been stymied and the agents threatened, proves nothing but David Schipper’s pathetic need for attention.

That Garth Nicolson received two warnings from contacts in the intelligence community and one from a North African head of state, which included specific site, date and source of the attacks, and passed the information to the Defense Department and the National Security Council to evidently no effect, clearly amounts to nothing, since virtually nobody has ever heard of him.

That in the months prior to September 11, self-described US intelligence operative Delmart Vreeland sought, from a Toronto jail cell, to get US and Canadian authorities to heed his warning of his accidental discovery of impending catastrophic attacks is worthless, since Vreeland was a dubious character, notwithstanding the fact that many of his claims have since been proven true.

That FBI Special Investigator Robert Wright claims that agents assigned to intelligence operations actually protect terrorists from investigation and prosecution, that the FBI shut down his probe into terrorist training camps, and that he was removed from a money-laundering case that had a direct link to terrorism, sounds like yet more sour grapes from a disgruntled employee.

That George Bush had plans to invade Afghanistan on his desk before 9/11 demonstrates only the value of being prepared.

The suggestion that securing a pipeline across Afghanistan figured into the White House’s calculations is as ludicrous as the assertion that oil played a part in determining war in Iraq.

That Afghanistan is once again the world’s principal heroin producer is an unfortunate reality, but to claim the CIA is still actively involved in the narcotics trade is to presume bad faith on the part of the agency.

Mahmood Ahmed, chief of Pakistan’s ISI, must not have authorized an al Qaeda payment of $100,000 to Mohammed Atta days before the attacks, and was not meeting with senior Washington officials over the week of 9/11, because I didn’t read anything about him in the official report.

That Porter Goss met with Ahmed the morning of September 11 in his capacity as Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has no bearing whatsoever upon his recent selection by the White House to head the Central Intelligence Agency.

That Goss's congressional seat encompasses the 9/11 hijackers' Florida base of operation, including their flight schools, is precisely the kind of meaningless factoid a conspiracy theorist would bring up.

Answer 2

It's easier to rewrite history 5 years later when people have forgotten the details.

Remember how his handlers bragged that he was a hands off President? That this was his chosen management style, courtesy of Harvard Business School. That, like Reagan, he'd be appointing "good people" to run things.

Remember how he bragged about working out 2 hours a day, and that he quit work at 3 or 4 each afternoon?

And of course, he took his normal one month August vacation. It was so rudely interrupted by that CIA agent who just wanted to cover his own butt by warning Bush of imminent terrorist threats. But Bush saw right through that agent, and went back to golfing and brush clearing. And all those alarmist PDB's, especially the "vague" one in August 01, something about Bin Laden and attacks in the US? It clearly didn't have any content. It most have been boringly vague. Otherwise why would the government have redacted 80% of it "national security" reasons?

Answer 3

There are 2 adult adult males, both somewhat wealthy. One develops truly inexpensive software and elements billions of funds to charity. the different sponsors terrorism. That being the case, why changed into it that the Clinton administration spent extra money chasing down invoice Gates over the 8 years in workplace, than Osama bin-weighted down? imagine about it! it really is a wierd turn of activities. Hillary receives $8 Million for her drawing close memoir. invoice receives about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This from 2 those who spent 8 years being unable to bear in mind something about previous activities at the same time as lower than oath! listed lower than are some info which all got here from Freedom of innovations requests, public guidelines, and numerous books that were printed, and performance no longer been refuted through Clinton. a million.) After the 1993 international commerce center bombing, which killed six and injured a million,000, President Clinton promised that those responsible will be hunted down and punished. 2.) After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, that killed 5 U.S. military workers, Clinton promised that those responsible will be hunted down and punished. 3.) After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 2 hundred U.S. military workers, Clinton promised that those responsible will be hunted down and punished. 4.) After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible will be hunted down and punished. 5.) After the 2000 bombing of the united statesCole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible will be hunted down and punished. possibly if Clinton had saved those elements, an envisioned 3,000 human beings in ny and Washington, D.C. that are literally useless will be alive on the on the spot and persons would end blaming Bush.

Answer 4

Can you imagine how big a mess the white house was in after Clinton left, Clinton had a habit of losing important papers like the codes for our nukes. There was probably secret documents scattered everywhere, what a nightmare.

It probably took 8 months just to get things back in working order, the white house was more like a jungle gym than a place of business for Clinton.

Answer 5

Military Intelligence and CIA investigations including FBI investigations in this country.

Answer 6

He likes warm and dark places of adventure. His daddy promised he will fix it for him on September 11, 2001. So for 8 months GW said being President is too hard so I will wait till something happens. Meanwhile I will pull out dead stumps and fish. I guess when a Newquelar War happens, I guess I will do something. NAW!

Answer 7

Tell me what Clinton did during his 8 years as president besides playing around.

Answer 8

Clinton was oblivious and too busy having fun to warn anybody about anything.
Here's the real question:
What did Clinton do for six years after the first terrorist attacks?????? Nothing.
He was too busy staining dresses, and attacking and groping women to worry about terrorists.
Hey, it was Party Time. Travel Time on taxpayer money. Us suckers.

Answer 9

Let's See.... Hmmm, Clinton 8 YEARS
Bush 8 MONTHS..............? I'd say Clinton is at fault in this particular situation. Unfortunately, the "clintonites" don't believe anything unflattering about their idol.

Answer 10

I can sum up your question in one word - nothing. He won't take some responsibility for it, and you actually have people believing it was Clinton's fault. Those are the unintelligent sheep who think bush can do no wrong, and will continue to "parrot" the limbaughs, hannitys, and o'reillys of the world...
